Good Luck, Babe! These Couples Are Competing Together In The Olympics

When you’re an Olympic athlete, there are probably a few characteristics you’re looking for in a partner. You probably want someone disciplined (like you), ambitious (also like you), and of course, someone who has a passion in life (definitely, like you). And what better way to find someone that’s completely compatible with you than to just find someone … just like you — aka, another Olympian. I mean, talk about a power couple right?

And for a few Olympians this year, they’ve already done just that. There are already multiple Olympic couples who are competing side-by-side (and sometimes against each other) in this year’s Summer Olympics in Paris. What better way to celebrate the City of Love than an Olympic games full of athletic AF couples?

And while you may have seen a couple or two here and there on TikTok or in the headlines, here’s a breakdown of the cutest couples competing together in the 2024 Paris Olympics. I wouldn’t even go on a run with a boyfriend, so yes, be very impressed.
